• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, out of 30 MCAs in Nandi, five of them were elected women; and we are very proud of it because it is unique. My neighbouring Senator for Uasin Gishu County is a woman of prolific profile; Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar. Of course, she might become the future Governor of Uasin Gishu County. These are some of the things that we want to encourage. Even as we discuss issues of affirmative action, assisting women to achieve their gains, which I know has not been easy--- I congratulate Sen. Kihika, my leader, Sen. Dullo and all women. This is ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. As some of my colleagues have said, Article 125 of the Constitution gives this House power to summon the CS in charge of Agriculture. Hon. Munya should be made aware that he is not serving his own interests because that office is held on trust. Yesterday, I heard some people say that locusts were seen in Muhoroni Sub- County, which is in my neighbouring Kisumu County. I am their neighbour at Chemase. We are worried that the locusts menace might spread across the country and that is a threat to ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a Senate, we must pronounce ourselves and stop the Executive for taking this House for granted. Even as the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) hearings are going on, we must strengthen the Senate and pronounce ourselves. Your pronouncement must send chills down the spine of some people who think that they are serving their own interests, yet they are serving the interest of Kenyans. Therefore, if hon. Munya does not come tomorrow on his volition by 9.00 a.m., he should be frog marched to this House to speak to this issue. The issue of food ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by the Senator for Nairobi County, Sen. Sakaja. I agree that there is a big problem with extra-judicial killings in Nairobi and other major towns where it is an offence to be a young person who is jobless and hustling. Youths are easily losing life though the bullets of trigger-happy police officers. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights was lucky to be hosted by the Senator for Mombasa County, Sen. Faki, in the last Session where we did a public hearing on the extra-judicial killings. Next month, we will visit Dandora in Nairobi City County to listen to the cases of extra-judicial killings. We will also visit Kisumu, Garissa and other counties in the northern part of Kenya to listen to the cases on extra-judicial killings. As the Chairperson of the Committee, I undertake to bring an interim report on the status of extrajudicial killings in this country in ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is so sad that the rider who was shot dead by the police yesterday was rushing a patient to the hospital. It looks as if the mantra and modusoperandi of the police nowadays is not shoot to immobilise, but shoot to kill. I think the Inspector-General (IG) of Police and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government must be held personally liable for such incidences, so that we prevent them from recurring. I have taken note and cognizance of the fact that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Directorate of ... view

• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Budget regarding the pending payment of casual staff who were engaged in to work during the 2019 Kenya population census exercise. In the statement the Committee should - (1) State the reason for the dealy in payment of the casual staff, particularly in Nandi County who worked during the enumeration exrecise that was held in August 2019, almost six months after the conclusion of the exercies despite several reminders to the Ministry of Finance. (2) Explain the criteria used by Kenya National Bureua of Statistics (KNEBS) in making payment of the dues to these officials since some regions have been ... view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt my sister, but is it in order for Sen. Shiyonga to allege that there are many illicit routes that you can use to get into the country? Does she know anything that the Government is not aware of? view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader has said this is a straight forward amendment from the National Assembly. I hope view
